~Try Not To Remember~ By Sheryl Crow (Thoughts on War) | |
| River Girl Offer Upgrade  User ID: 483988  United States08/13/2008 11:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sheryl Crow "Try Not To Remember" With all the talk of Wars this song came to mind, as did a conversation with a veteran from Iraq, two tours of duty, heavy equipment truck driver. He said, I quote: "We drove sometimes for 24 hours straight, the Iraq fighters would put little children, and old people in the roads to stop us, if we stopped, WE WERE DEAD, so we had orders not to stop, I have nightmares all the time now, I try not to remember! I joined the Army before the war for a chance at a college degree, and a better life for my family and me! Now I just try to remember that!" How do you shut that out people???? Can anyone Justify that??? [link to www.youtube.com] Try to erase The smell of freedom And every face That happened to meet mine What still remains Something unrelenting I'll say the names Of those I left behind Chorus: In the still of the night Do you laugh do you cry Do you try not to remember? If it's a question of fate Do you love do you hate Do you try not to remember? I see your eyes In my own reflection These broken skies Begin begin to mend We are the same Fighting for something What's left to gain? There's no means to an end Chorus: In the still of the night Do you laugh do you cry Do you try not to remember? If it's a question of fate Do you love to you hate Do you try not to remember? River!  |
